Ashram Sun’, Surya Botofasina's much-anticipated album follows his hugely acclaimed debut ‘Everyone’s Children’ and his first offering since his contribution to ‘New Blue Sun’ and global touring alongside André 3000. It is an ode to Surya’s upbringing and musical teachings in the tradition of Swamini Turiyasangitananda - aka Alice Coltrane, by the spiritual jazz colossus Herself, at Her Sai Anantam Ashram in California. ‘Ashram Sun’ is a deep listening, spiritual masterpiece with close collaborators Carlos Niño and Nate Mercereau, incl. contributions from the high priestesses of music Angel Bat Dawid, Mia Doi Todd, MidnightRoba and Radha Botofasina.

CREDITS
‘Your Soul is Perfect (Supreme Uniter)’ is the 2nd single from Surya Botofasina’s upcoming album and its' most dynamic. Featuring Surya’s mother Rada Botofasina on harp and vocals, ‘Your Soul is Perfect’ starts out as an understated head-nodder, but the building chords and steadily percussion eventually ignite into a surging celestial funk jam that was hidden at the centre.
